Your returns beyond mutual fund ranking
A scheme can sit at the head of every list while its investors quietly earn far less than its published returns. The gap comes from timing, since money typically arrives after a rally and exits during corrections.
Researchers call this the "behavior gap," and it often costs more than expense ratios do. Your position on a list says nothing about whether you will stay invested through a drawdown, which ultimately shapes the return you personally take home.
Pair any mutual fund ranking with an honest look at your own holding behavior, because discipline converts a good scheme into a good outcome.
